Firsty I would like to say how much I like the Dyson DC24. It is a great little vacuum cleaner which does a good job using much less electricity than other vacuums.

I have had this model a good 5 months now and have had time to report on it.

I can see that Dysons claim that they do not rely on filters is slightly false. From all of the Dysons I have owned, the pre motor filter gets caked with quite a bit of hair and some fine dust (DC24 has the most of it as you can see from pics) if there was no filter then the motor will be damaged over time with the debris that will make themselves into the motor compartment.

Despite the filters getting caked with dust and hair (from normal usage and filter washes done every month and bin emptied when dirt at max level) I have to say that the suction does not seem to drop so the machine does appear to keep its consistent suction power despite the filter being dirty. On the DC24 this would have been noticable as it only has 650Watts motor.

I like the fact that Dyson allows the user to wash the post motor filter as with my older DC03, 04 and 05 the filter will be black with carbon dust but it would just sit there and accumulate (not that it ever had an effect on the suction or cleaning power)

I have used bagged machines ranging from different manufacturers and have been disappointed with the suction drop on these, particularly with cylinder cleaners or canisters in US.

I have looked at the cyclones and there appears to be a lot of fine dust built up in the cones area. A guess a good blast of air is reccomended to help dislodge the build up? Dyson does not state this in their instructions. I am sure the build up is not helping the cyclone efficiency.

The buildup of dust in the inner chamber does not inhibit the performance of the machine.

It is not in the path of the airflow... There is some airflow there... But not the primary airflow..

a bagless vac should be emptied after each use, seems to be the best advice i was told

Same thing happens to my Hoover T Cyclonic, but I never see a decree in suction. I like it so much I vacuum shop-vac filters with it, and I still haven't washed it yet, nor does it smell!

I think empty several times on that little guy maybe.
